Kerala Health Minister Veena George has said that ‘Code Grey’ protocol will be implemented across all hospitals in the state for the “protection of hospitals and hospital workers.”
Code Grey is an emergency protocol that alerts the hospital staff “to a dangerous or combative person in the hospital or to criminal activity somewhere in the hospital,” The Hindu reported.
In situations where a patient/their family is being violent or aggressive, a protocol like this will ensure that the hospital staff knows what their roles in emergency situations are.
